The things getting me through a 40 degree holiday this year - which has been more tiring and physically draining experience than Ive ever known, thanks to the toddlers newfound running feet - are:- L...
As a beauty director in the full-time employ of a womans magazine that relies upon its advertisers, hmmm, this is tricky. Last week two adverts were banned by the advertising standards authority – fo...

...THIS IS A SPONSORED POST, BUT ITS STILL ME...Ordinarily this is absolutely not my bag. I have never accepted money for reviews - certainly not false good reviews! - but when ESPA approached Handpi...
Oops, I did it again. Life got in the way. But its given me time to discover a whole host of new, very good things, all of which Ive come to rely on when said life is more chaotic than calm. Bobbi Br...
I have good nails. Ive been approached by several different people re a spot of hand modelling, but, well, Im far too lazy and clumsy... Ive never had a manicure thats outlasted the week, couldnt be ...
Those products that enable the speediest of skin improvements have recently become my new questing mecca. Every morning I set out to arrive at fresh, radiant, rested, healthy... even when biology and...
Youve probably clocked that I dont blog here very often anymore. I run another blog, we make up as we go along, work (almost) full time for PSYCHOLOGIES as their beauty director, do consultancy &...
Right, so it turns out that a new job + a new baby + an almost-new-year adds up to not a spare second to do very much of anything at all. Which is why this blog hasnt been updated in over a month - s...
Im 24 and work in an office in London. I currently use just a Neutrogena Oil Free moisturiser, as being 24 I was still getting the odd spot, someone suggested that I try something without oil. It wor...
A couple of weeks ago I had a big interview. I needed to look a-mazing - chic, sleek, grown-up and with it. Looking with it is a whole new challenge these days what with a new baby, gazillions of sho...
Funny stuff happens post-bairn. Hair growth fizzles out [barely shaved my legs in 7 weeks]; dry skin becomes suddenly oily again [the t-zone is back to teen-sheen status]; eye bags sprout eye bags fo...
Champneys Town and City Spas are working with the Red Cross to raise money for the Floods Appeal by donating all treatment proceeds and therapists wages to the appeal on Sunday 5th September - could ...
If youve ever had to cope with good-skin-gone-bad, youll be wholly attuned to the plight of my lil sis and the battle shes been waging with her blemishes for the best part of the year. The sort of ut...
Yep, baby Malcontent is officically here. But, as irony would have it, she is anything but malcontent. She is dinky and darling and already sleeping & eating well [well, she must get that from he...
Ive been making mental notes of all the good stuff all busy working week long, and really must get it down on this page before it all disappears into backlog oblivion. So, theres been a spate of new ...
A few months back I popped into The Organic Pharmacy for a Health Assessment. Id had one several years back while feeling less than my best and was impressed with the various things it pinpointed. Ta...
Right, so, following my last post which talked up the benefits of the new Darphin Cleansing Balm, Ive had some emails from readers asking which cleansing balm I rate most highly - whether its the ESP...
Several things deserve a shout out before the weeks end:Numero uno - the Clarisonic, which has made my skin look clearer & brighter than ever before. My family are convinced that its those bloomi...
Sometimes the cosmos sends out some pretty cool messages - and to those lovely individuals at Oral-B who happened to read my last post [bemoaning the fact that my hubby destroyed my beloved sonic too...
I had a fab sonic toothbrush, a really expensive one, and it needed a head change. Sadly, said head refused to be removed, even with huffing and puffing red-cheeked levels of exertion. So I handed ov...
When travelling I like to pack a bag of untried goodies which get a trial in the hotel bathroom. I always seem to have more time to test, and also the inclination, thanks to more nights out and days ...
Hanne from Commecoco.blogspot.com asked when the right time was to start using eye creams & what might work for someone like her, in her early 20s...Perfect timing given that I'm in the midst of ...
Having watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland last week I've been unable to get the 'why is a raven like a writing desk?' ditty out of my noggin. Now, riddles in all of their tricky glory (whether ...
My last post was entitled 'Good Night' - which has come to seem like the spookiest kind of premonition, given that I've spent the last week responding to emails from various PRs, journos and beauty c...
Have been wanting to award a special mention to 2 products that have made it into my bathroom cabinet this month - Weleda Skin Food and Philosophy Hope Springs Eternal Deep Sea Revitalizing Face Mask...
There are some days when nothing can be done. Honestly, I've had enough of them to know this to be true. You just wake up, a bit puffy of jaw, shadowy of eye, blotchy of skin, blemished of chin - and...
When my backstage invite & show ticket were issued to HAKAAN the week before the big event, my expectations had been piqued by the knowledge that i-D's Edward Enninful was styling, hair god Luigi...
